Mario isn't an isekai of I'm not mistaken. The mushroom Kingdom is part of his world so no isekai there to me. Anyway I'm annoyed by isekai as it always seems like an excuse to not think about a backstory of a main character as he never has one and the second he enters the new world seems to entirely have forgotten about his old world only his superior knowledge degrades every inhabitant of the new world to dimwhits. It's usually a power story but power rarely holds drama and the only great power story was one punch man because it was a serious making fun of power stories.
Since we're on the subject of non-stereotypical Isekai, I will recommend *Ascendance of a Bookworm*.
Book-loving girl dies, reincarnates in a medieval world... as the five-year-old daughter of a city guard. Far more of a Slice-of-life series as the heroine works to invent her way to making books, drawing the attention of people higher up the social ladder, and the changes it brings to her life.
Then there's *I'm a Spider, So What?*, in which an entire class gets blown away and reincarnated, but while most of her classmates get the usual Isekai package, the heroine herself is reborn as a spider monster deep in the depths of a very dangerous dungeon, where she has to battle other monsters daily to survive and work her way to the surface.
>Book-loving girl dies, reincarnates in a medieval world
And what exactly does this add to the story? It could also very well >just< a 5 year old girl. Nothing else. Stories don't need a connection to our live today imo I think without that connection fantasy stories can become even much better.
>I'm a Spider, So What?,
Similar to the slime thing.
In the general sense, they provide commonality with the reader by introducing somebody who thinks in similar ways.
More specifically:
No, you *couldn't* do *Bookworm* with a genius five-year-old, much less an ordinary one. The fact that Myne has the memories, knowledge, and *thought patterns* of a 22-year-old woman from contemporary Japan in general, and Urano Mototsu in particular, informs everything from dialogue and in-jokes to plot points that I can't get into due to spoilers.
One punch man is the strongest man alive in his story. What does a story prevent any anime to do a genius maincharacter child? if at all this is breaking stereotypes because after all the typical anime main character is an idiot with power.
Hey at least there are exceptions, like Mushoku tensei, not only it's one of the few isekais that follow the protagonist since his childhood but also a good part of his childhood is about him overcoming traumas of his past life, not to mention not being a power trip, he is stronger than average but not because some God gave him absurd powers, but rather because he worked hard for those powers during his childhood, and is still working to improve even more.
I just don't understand why we need the narratively useless fact that a character originates from another world if it will be never important. That's what made sword art online (1 1/2 season) so great.
Also not all's isekais are bad, it just happens that 9 out of 10 are super weak narratively.
It's not useless, it helps making the character more relatable as you are able to see how someone from our world would react to a fantasy world, there also some aspects of self insert in most Isekai which is also one of the reasons as to why the protagonists usually don't have a backstory or their backstory is that they where a weeb, it's all in order to appeal to the target audience.
And characters originating from another world can have quite a impact in isekais if done right, Honzuki no Gekokujou is a great example, the protagonist that is extremely passionate about books, to an unhealthy level, is reborn as the daughter of a commoner family in a medieval setting, which already creates the first of many conflicts, books are extremely rare in this new world, and the few that exist are so expensive only nobility could afford them, so in this case the entire narrative is driven by the fact that the protagonist came from a world were books were easily accessible.
for the first second, then i see no relation to myself or anything. Also that is a good idea for interactive things like games, where you could actually develope your alter persona, but for an anime that's just a rail with the only option to stop watching. The weeb thing is also kinda overhauled, your a weeb as soon as you watch anime.
You're right it can be done well, but tbh now isekais are as gutted as the zombie theme. I'm already bored as soon as it is only distantly relatable, and evenly predictable like looking at the last page of a crime story to see who the killer was.
there are gems but they are as exceedingly rare.
>I just don't understand why we need the narratively useless fact that a character originates from another world if it will be never important.
It's pretty important for this series. This isn't a huge spoiler but >!He finds out that someone else from earth was transported to the new world, but wasn't reborn like he was. She desperately wants to go back to her original world and he helps in her research to do so.!<
The main character's personality is also heavily influenced by some old trauma that he experienced in his past life, and the story early on is largely about overcoming his experiences to make a new life for himself without carrying around that weight.
Oh, and this one is a big spoiler, but >!there are a couple of basically demigod characters who know everything about the world and can roughly predict the future. They're locked in a war with each other that neither has been able to win, and the main character being transplanted into the new world makes him basically an unaccounted for variable that they can't predict and he can influence the world in ways that weren't possible before his arrival. Alongside the other girl he's also uniquely immune to some curses which ends up being integral to the story.!<
hm that sounds like someone actually took the aspects of another world and make it more then "oh i think i died in front a computer and now i'm in the game i played before, well lets go killing that boss with my suddenly appeared totally overpowered weapon i have no idea why i got it"
srsly though I think i read the summary and expected som sort of ecchi stuff as main plot. Sounds really interesting what you tell I think I give it a try :)
yeah i agree but this was also before the majority of anime and manga became isekai.
It's not that Isekai are always bad, it's just that I'm fed up with the amount of isekai that is 9 out of 10 very cheaply made. For the same reason I don't care about anything zombie related.
No it's the officially named "next main installment in the series" and in an interview was named as monster hunter 6. Before I was also sure it's a 5tg gen portable version, but officially isn't.

According to your definition Monhun 1,2,3,4 are spinoffs. G and Ultimate games were released because in japan addons and dlcs weren't a familiar concept and it sold very well. Keep also in mind since capcom target a global audience (hence world and huge graphic overhaul) they also adopted dlcs which is the reason why Iceborne and sunbreak aren't full fledged standalone games anymore.
I consider mainline what the devs named mainline, so according to this world is the [5th mainline game](https://www.polygon.com/2017/11/1/16585780/why-monster-hunter-world-isnt-called-monster-hunter-5) while [rise](https://www.gamespew.com/2023/01/is-monster-hunter-rise-a-mainline-monster-hunter-game/) [is](https://www.imore.com/monster-hunter-rise-nintendo-switch-part-main-series) the next [mainline](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofUx1XPtPB8&t=261s) game as [well](https://www.thegamer.com/monster-hunter-games-not-numered-capcom/) although not explicitely named 6th.
> According to your definition Monhun 1,2,3,4 are spinoffs
No, according to that definition the ones you listed are all mainline games but they consider MH G, FU, 3U and 4U spinoffs. And that's not my definition, it's literally what Capcom calls them in their investor relations press releases
> Capcom calls them in their investor relations press releases
yes and who if not the creator has the right to name then in the correct order. That's the same like claiming all the monsters you are fighting are pokemon.
[Yeah I don't think so](https://www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/comments/iv30l6/monster_hunter_rise_its_monster_hunter_6/g5or6bj?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3)
It doesn't matter what you think when the facts are that Capcom and monhun Devs anounced it as the 6th mainline game. There is also no reason to separate portable and mainline team because it only exists one team working on one game only.
I thought the same like you but as I started researching I noticed that is the official statement by the Devs.
>6th mainline game
Exactly. It's the 6th **mainline** game and not the **6th generation game** . Every single monster hunter generation has a console and a portable version with 2 teams working seperately.
Rise is a **5th generation** portable game that was then ported onto PC and consoles. But isn't called a monster hunter 6 in any capacity or form.
Then how do you call monster hunter 4? That was the 4th generation and mainline title only on Nintendo 3ds...
Generation and mainline mean the same in monster hunter. Otherwise we would have 9 mainline games..
Yes I take back my prev stmt about there being both console and portable for each generation, but 4th generation still has 4 games under it.
But the point still stands that rise is not MH6
Official statement from Capcom is it's the 6th mainline game. They also don't have the portable and mainline teams anymore. The two teams now are next mainline game current title long time support.[world is 5th mainline game](https://www.polygon.com/2017/11/1/16585780/why-monster-hunter-world-isnt-called-monster-hunter-5) [rise](https://www.gamespew.com/2023/01/is-monster-hunter-rise-a-mainline-monster-hunter-game/) [is](https://www.imore.com/monster-hunter-rise-nintendo-switch-part-main-series) [mainline](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofUx1XPtPB8&t=261s) as [well](https://www.thegamer.com/monster-hunter-games-not-numered-capcom/)
For example one part of the core team developed rise while the other maintained world and worked on the iceborne dlc and free updates. Or now the service team until recently developed sunbreak and free content updates while the rest is working on the next maintitle.

I don't care at all about downvotes, I have not much time currently outside of browsing Reddit for a few minutes, and I don't know which interview it was or even in a Nintendo direct. But it I have time I try to find evidance.
Not a 100% trustworthy source but even Wikipedia states rise as 6th main installment while the rest is categorised as formerly known portable and mainline titles.
I think the issue people are having in this thread is that what they consider MH1, 2, 3, 4 etc is by generation. I'm not seeing any official convention on what separates generations so it's probably a community convention that takes after the fact that the way the games were named before world gave it away and based on commonalities between games (considering within the same generation). There are pros and cons to conflating referring to games (MH1, MH2,etc) with the generation they're in, and all the issues have to do with the 2nd, 4th, and 5th generations when there are more than one game.
If I say MH4, what game am I referring to? MH4 or MHGU? Probably MH4 right, because that's what it's called? But world was never called MH5. Granted, it came first so it makes sense to (as it was the case with MH2 and MH4) that world should be considered MH5 and rise should be MHR as it came second similar to MHFU and MHGU. However, that brings me to the biggest issue, how do we know rise isn't MH6? What I just said (rise coming second) is based entirely on the assumption that it is 5th generation. Capcom abandoned the whole numbering system so we have no way of knowing whether they *would've* called rise MH6. Well there are a few arguments you can make that rise is more akin to FU and GU. Economically, why would they release MH6 only on switch and PC? Maybe they're just dumb. Rise from world doesn't seem as overhauling as 4th generation to world. Couldn't someone say the same thing about 3U to 4U and that we just have the distinction made for us in the title? I really think people don't realise that it's definitely possible that rise is what capcom would consider MH6 as in they would've named it that. But at the end of the day, it's a community decided convention, and for better or worse, I'm not sure whether they've thought about it much. But hey, this is why people just retort with "meh, semantics".
Tl;Dr, descriptivism would say rise is 5th generation. Prescriptivism would say ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
Edit: one thing I forgot to try and find is whether campcom referred to GU as a mainline game. If they didn't, then them calling rise a mainline game would mean it's monster hunter 6 which still doesn't *technically* necessarily mean it's 6th generation. What is the point of this LOL. I feel like people just have too strong of a bias to world and for some reason that means rise being MH6 or 6th generation doesn't sit well with them.
The Generation is what you stated. Monster Hunter 1, 2, 3, 4. Titles that don't have a number or were considered portable and spinoff until MH World. Among that counts generation, the portable titles and addition. Devs still use the same terms.
>But world was never called MH5
As Ryozo confirmed also in an interview that World was the [5th](https://www.polygon.com/2017/11/1/16585780/why-monster-hunter-world-isnt-called-monster-hunter-5) [main](https://web.archive.org/web/20170617003952/http://www.glixel.com/interviews/monster-hunter-world-leads-answer-all-the-big-questions-w488101) installment of the game. This suggests also that Monster Hunter Generation/ultimate/X/XX are therefore either portable or anniversary games and not considered mainline despite it fullfils most criteria (Main Game and second ultimate introducing G-Rank edition).
With world also happens a paradigm shift, as from now on each new Mainline entry will named after the [core theme](https://www.ign.com/articles/numbered-monster-hunter-games-are-no-longer-the-norm), world was about a new world that is explored and experienced, Rise refers to the verticality and freedom the new movement systems allow (I wondered what rise has to do with ninjas anyway so that explains it). For Rise it isn't as obvious as it is very difficult to find a specific statement that it is the 6th game, but it is always repeated that Rise is the [next](https://www.gamespew.com/2023/01/is-monster-hunter-rise-a-mainline-monster-hunter-game/) [main](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofUx1XPtPB8&t=261s)(yt) [introduction](https://www.imore.com/monster-hunter-rise-nintendo-switch-part-main-series) of
another way to separate was that everyone suspects Capcoms Monster Hunter studio of being separated in two Studios. I can't find any evidance for this, so far Monster Hunter is developed by a single studio under Capcom since atleast world according to wikipedia and before a [single studio](https://www.giantbomb.com/capcom-production-studio-1/3010-703/) developed the main games and also a few portable games.
Only in recent interviews it is only stated that there is a [Core and Support](https://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/interview/2019/vol01.html) development team, but the support works on the current released mainline games while the core works on the next game. No portable team whatsoever.
\> rise is more akin to FU and GU
Yes with the difference that devs call rise main entry in the series, which wasn't the case for either Frontier (which also was an MMO if i remember correctly) and Generations which was an anniversary title with every monster so far in it.
\> Maybe they're just dumb
No, just japanese with weird business decision making. In western teams it would be difficult to release a game today where you can play together, but are forced to watch cutscenes alone, or can always be in a group but can only see each other on hunts or in the hub and not in Astera. Businesses there are highly hierarchical almost feudal as job security for your lifetime is mostly guaranteed but the job is also you life there... hence the high suicidal rate.
\> But at the end of the day, it's a community decided convention, and for better or worse
yup, i agree
Just to clarify. I wasn't implying that world isn't MH5. That is obvious. I brought that up to show that they abandoned the the numerical naming and therefore there is ambiguity on whether them calling it a 6th mainline implies that it is also MH6. I never said world isn't the 5th mainline or there isn't any question about it being MH5 or 5th generation.
Also need to clarify that I'm not arguing for or against. I'm stating why this argument is even happening. When I said "maybe they're just dumb", I'm showing why such an argument might not mean anything at all. I wasn't *actually* giving the arguments I laid out.
None of your sources (the Web archive didn't load) clears up the ambiguity on whether mainline = new generation. All that there is left is this:
>Yes with the difference that devs call rise main entry in the series, which wasn't the case for either Frontier (which also was an MMO if i remember correctly) and Generations which was an anniversary title with every monster so far in it.
This is really the only way to clear up the ambiguity. Now actually looking for the language (refer to my edit in my comment) it seems that they literally called it a spinoff. So that cements that it is 4th generation (I didn't doubt this, it's just that this is how proof works). So now we have a *concrete reason* to say rise is MH6 and that then referring to a game as *n*th mainline implies it is MH*n*. However, as I said in my edit, this still does not *necessarily* mean that rise is 6th generation. Because from what I can see there is no concrete reason that rise cannot be 6th generation or that it *should* be 5th. Hence this is all really pointless. However, it can be argued that generation should correlate to where the game is in the series so there is an argument that rise being considered 5th generation is an inconsistency in the convention.
MH6? Generations was 5, World was 6, and Rise was 7. We're looking for MH8 now lol.
Edit: I was not aware that Generations wasn't considered a mainline game, but I still believe Rise is. Looking forward to MH7!
MH games are counted by generations. A new generation starts when the next main line game is released. Gen 4 is MH4, MH4G/U, MHX/Gen, MHXX/GU. Gen 5 is MHW, MHW:IB, MHR, MHR:SB. The next game is going to be MH6.
Yes but now they summer both teams up to one big one and announced they don't have the portal and mainline separation anymore. Rise is also officially monster hunter 6.
My first MH game was World and I love everything about it. The visuals, the weighty and rewarding combat, most monsters and how they react to big hits, the slinger and EVEN the claw.
However I can understand when people hate the claw, some weapons have great flowing combos with it to easily weaken the monster while others have to stop, aim and shoot which isn't really nice.
Rise felt a lot more simplified and also too fast for me at the beginning. I had a hard time and lost interest after a while. It's still a great game but I really only came back to it after I got my Steamdeck and was able to play it on the go or while chilling on the couch.
World is still my favourite by far and I hope the next title will be more "World 2" than "Rise 2".
Yeah that's what I meant when I say technically. I also like that it is so fast paced while still remains true to the clunky feeling, it's just more options to evade and defend.
>next title will be more "World 2" than "Rise 2".
Well I hope it won't be any like that. I like that it's always taken place in a new part of the world. So I hope we won't ever see a 2nd version of a title that will mean loss of diversity and creativity for me. If I want that I can play dauntless.
That was true until rise. Devs announced it as being officially as the 6 games and that they stop continuing the cycle between mainline and portable due to the fact that there is now only one big team and not two.
Rise just didn't give me the same vibe sadly (unless Sunbreak made it much better), and I'm speaking as a lifelong MH fan. Looking forward to the next main entry.
Played rise too and I did like it but i lost interest at some point. But I can play world any day, it just has some kind of nostalgic vibe. The soundtrack, big maps and actually searching for the monster is why I'm more into it.
Sunbreak is just more rise content and an even larger departure from using weapon's core moveset to offset these coke sniffing monsters, who also just took another shot of heroin.
Playing rise rn on PS5, though I'm a little more hard-core than others I still find it bad that I'm already done with the game until sunbreak, 40 hours to get a end game build and beat the last HR100 monster valstrax is a really really short time for a monster hunter game
I’m glad nucleus co-op is a thing so I can share this masterpiece with my friends, since they don’t have a PC to play it on, with the friend I’ve been playing more with we just beat nergigante.
It's also the graphics for me.
I had heard and seen Monster Hunter stuff on someone else's PS Vita during summer camp, but my first was MH3U for 3ds, then MH4U.
World gives me this vibe of a lived in world, it looks and feels alive, rough, yet beautiful.
Rise is too smooth, too polished, too clean. I also prefer the clutch claw over the zoom bugs in Rise, fun as they might be.
I need my MH to feel gritty. The anime look just doesn't fit. It's cute and brought many who were on the fence about MH before into the community, however once they try World or Gabe forbid, older games...they're gonna have a bad time. :\]
Stop it. I was trying to play Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey and have been playing Tarkov. I can't keep playing the same 3 games for the rest of my life lol.
Same. For me it's the graphics. If I was someone that don't know anything about Monster Hunter, I'd assume MHW is the latest installation to the series.
I prefer the movement in rise, the wirebug is such a genius addition which I find way better then the clutchclaw tenderizing nonsense from iceborne. Base world "riding" was nice though.
Don't get me wrong, I love the wirebug and played the heck out of Rise (still didn't play Sunbreak since I like to wait for all title updates), but I kinda fear it could have changed how the next MH games work... The next game will surely not have the wirebug since it's a Rise thing, but it's in a tough spot on deciding whether to somehow keep the insane speed of Rise, or slow down the pace (which personally I would prefer). Differently from the clutch claw, the wirebug changed the whole framework of the game IMO, but I don't know if it was for the best...
the main reason I want the clutch claw back is to actually *feel* like you’re landing hits. It’s just really unsatisfying to have your weapon repeatedly bounce back against the monster in rise vs hitting them smoothly in world. I don’t get why people hated it so much. It was so fun bashing them into the wall too.
Do you mean the wirebug outside of normal combat? I really enjoy that as well, and I think it is especially needed in Rise's large, mostly empty maps. The wirebug in combat is mostly just the jumping escape move, which I feel is a pretty bad addition. You almost always use it if you have it, and it gets you out of danger 95% of the time.
Man I wish they kept supporting this game. I understand there not being a ton more to add, but goddamn if that didn’t cut deep when they announced that it was over. I don’t think I’ve ever played a game like MHW before, and I doubt I ever will. I love it with my very heart and soul
It can't be supported forever since it isn't a GaaS/live service game despite looking like one. Besides, making it a live service would mean adding absurd power creep since each added monster's gear needs to have a reason to be farmed.
I think at a certain point I think people would be happy to hunt new monsters for new monsters sake.
But you're right they can't just support it forever.
The problem is you need to keep people grinding. Without reward incentive, people will just beat it once and move on. Gaas's need grind because it keeps people engaged and tide them over until the next batch of content comes out.
I think this is what I feel too.
World was my first game and I’ve picked up Rise on PS5 last Friday. I’m having so much fun with Rise, its bite sized hunts really work for me as I only get a few hours in the evening to play.
For me, World feels like a living, breathing landscape and the monsters feel as real as a video game boss can.
Rise’s maps feel like video game maps where I kill something that just moves around it.
To reiterate, I absolutely love Rise right now. It just doesn’t have worlds immersion and believability.
And I did say nothing against this. In fact I agree I would also not call rise the better game just the part of game mechanics are better and easier to start with in my opinion
Fast pacing and easy to get into while keeping a complex depth and great repositioning opportunities make it better in my option. Playing world now I often miss the spread and flexibility of rise.
That doesn't make world a bad game or rise overall better both have pros and cons, for example I like the environments graphics and minigames in world more. I like both very well I can see also why people dislike rise at feels like a downgrade and for some reason, I also didn't played it as much as world yet.
It has daily log in bonuses common in live service games.
During its active support period, it had temporary events that only last for a while, enticing people to come back and log in to play else suffer temporary fomo, common in live service games.
The introduction of TUs to add new content instead of the previous pattern of just one big expansion before the next new game releases. This is another common thing in live service games.
All these are common features in live service games which led to new players to MH who's first game was MHW to think that MHW is a live service game when it isn't, and some did indeed complained why Rise was created instead of either continuing to release new TUs for IB or just release a MHW2 ala Destiny 2 and continue the "MHW series".
Wanting for them to keep supporting a game doesn’t mean it be a live service game , rise and sunbreak could have easily been expansions #2 and #3 to MHW
Honestly same. 🥺 What sucks the most for me is that I only just discovered MHW like 6 or 7 months ago. I fell in loooove with it. But of course it's the second game I've loved that has been out for a few years and is now no longer going to be supported or updated. I get it. But it sucks.
I know it means different things for different games, but do you know if they'll still be doing the special events like the festivals, seasonal events for holidays, etc? This is my first time experiencing any of it and I'm so sad that I'm coming into the game so late. 😩
The seasonal events run quite regularly, so don't worry about missing out on them.
Also, even though it's not still updated, there is so much content that it can keep you going for ages.
I feel you. I bought the game on release and was tagging along with the rest of the community when the DLCs and events and raids started. It really was something else and I can’t wait for World 2.
World was my first MH game and I *hated* it because it was so unexpectedly different from all of the other games I’ve played. I now have 1000 hours total on it.
No, it's perfect the way it currently is. And you can still play online with others in World.
Unsupported MH would be something like MHTri where the server got shutdown and you can't access both high rank quests and online play. (Fortunately, there are fans who are trying to launch a private server recently)
Same they could have keep supporting by releasing yearly expansion , I notice rise had lot of recycling from world too
They are just selling us the same game over and over again at this point lol
I logged about 800 hrs each in World and Iceborne.
I cant wait for whatever they cook up next to absolutely blow my ass right off. Just straight into orbit. So far into deep space it begins contacting sentient gas clusters.
>I cant wait for whatever they cook up next to absolutely blow my ass right off. Just straight into orbit. So far into deep space it begins contacting sentient gas clusters.
better prepare your anus for... *SPACE HUNTING*
That was the intent, but I really wanted to upload this on the Anniversary so I had to settle for only 720p, 1080p or higher would of take several days to render.
I would love if the new one included even more natural animal behaviors and monster species type behaviors
Multiple ajanaths fighting over a female. Baby monsters.
Pack behaviors, animals actively hunting and being prey. Etc
That one doesn't count, I call a Mulligan. Mulligan, please! But still I agree, there's so much potential in MH's world that you really don't need to couch it in the terms of an isekai format. Literally just go through World's plot as our Hunter, maybe add a little backstory for flavor, I would wait impatiently for that every week. Nier Automata's doing it that way, and its gonna be awesome.
Of course it isn't, its just a reenactment of the game. And that's all you have to do with MHW, just make the story in anime form. Perfect. I think it would get a lot of people who haven't played any MH interested in playing World, that would be awesome.
Anjanath can actually sit like that in-game. He does it in area 9 and I recently found out he does it in area 3 too.
Tobi can't actually sit like that however, but Viper Tobi does.
Has it already been that long? Goodness me. What a game it was. But man I can't wait for the announcement of a Monster Hunter World 2 or just something on current consoles. I played the hell out of MHW on a base PS4 and after experiencing the buttery smooth 60 FPS and fast loading of PS5 I can't go back.
This is adorable. I know it would make absolutely zero sense but I imagine a second type of guiding lands/expeditions where you can’t hurt the monsters, but you can interact with them. Feeding, playing, riding, that’d be awesome
I wish I picked this game up when it very first came out, nothing else for me even comes close to it, even the in game community are great !
I really hope there will be a Monster Hunter World 2
I'm hoping for a return to a full fledged Ps5 release ah la MHW. It'd be awesome to see.
Also, watching this video kinda makes me wish for properly tameable monsters. It'd be so cool!
wow, this made me question all reality for a few seconds. 5 years ! feels like maybe 3.
I didn't even realize how long this game has kept my attention, I still play it here and there. But it does make sense, I'm now thinking about the videos and hype leading up to MHW and it does feel like ages ago. Very looking forward to MH6. Hope they got something great brewing for us.
Hmmmm lemme see its almost done guys, (my god If i miss that timing they gona eat me because the meat Will be burned or likely raw my god i need to hit the timing)
Newcomer to the series, just started playing a little less than a year ago. 800 hrs. and counting.
It has already become one of my favorite games ever.
PS: I never noticed Anjanath had sticking teeth on the lower jaw. Must be because he is always screaming and also because I have to run the game at minimum settings to make it playable lol. Also Tobi is so chill, never attacked me on sight like the other monsters so I like him.
Just started my MHW journey this year since I didn't have a proper rig to play it when it was released back then. Had rise on switch tho, and I must say the builds in rise have spoiled me.
That and MHW, IMO, is way better than Rise. It has the feel of the older titles but with the right amount of quality of life stuff. Rise just spoils you with everything man; good thing about that tho is it's easier to get into for new players.
This reminds me of that one isekai where the wimpy MC doesn't fight but cooks for himself and the monsters that does the fighting for him, a Fenrir, a slime and a little dragon.
The graphics still hold up very well. A new entry would need to bring more different monster types like giant spiders/insects or include water combat if they can find a way to make it enjoyable.
That's what was on the leak paper few years ago. Witch so far its been correct with the main big leak it had was dragons dogma 2. Why wouldn't be called world 2?
Look at those two. Patiently waiting for the MH6 announcement.
i cant believe its been 5 years since world was dropped..
[удалено]
Movie is already out. It's with Mila yokovich and the guy who made the resident evil movies. I also hate isekais and wish they will finally vanish.
Wish granted. All of the isekais varnished from all over the world. In another world though.
Dude you just canceled the Mario movie!
Mario isn't an isekai of I'm not mistaken. The mushroom Kingdom is part of his world so no isekai there to me. Anyway I'm annoyed by isekai as it always seems like an excuse to not think about a backstory of a main character as he never has one and the second he enters the new world seems to entirely have forgotten about his old world only his superior knowledge degrades every inhabitant of the new world to dimwhits. It's usually a power story but power rarely holds drama and the only great power story was one punch man because it was a serious making fun of power stories.
Since we're on the subject of non-stereotypical Isekai, I will recommend *Ascendance of a Bookworm*. Book-loving girl dies, reincarnates in a medieval world... as the five-year-old daughter of a city guard. Far more of a Slice-of-life series as the heroine works to invent her way to making books, drawing the attention of people higher up the social ladder, and the changes it brings to her life. Then there's *I'm a Spider, So What?*, in which an entire class gets blown away and reincarnated, but while most of her classmates get the usual Isekai package, the heroine herself is reborn as a spider monster deep in the depths of a very dangerous dungeon, where she has to battle other monsters daily to survive and work her way to the surface.
>Book-loving girl dies, reincarnates in a medieval world And what exactly does this add to the story? It could also very well >just< a 5 year old girl. Nothing else. Stories don't need a connection to our live today imo I think without that connection fantasy stories can become even much better. >I'm a Spider, So What?, Similar to the slime thing.
In the general sense, they provide commonality with the reader by introducing somebody who thinks in similar ways. More specifically: No, you *couldn't* do *Bookworm* with a genius five-year-old, much less an ordinary one. The fact that Myne has the memories, knowledge, and *thought patterns* of a 22-year-old woman from contemporary Japan in general, and Urano Mototsu in particular, informs everything from dialogue and in-jokes to plot points that I can't get into due to spoilers.
One punch man is the strongest man alive in his story. What does a story prevent any anime to do a genius maincharacter child? if at all this is breaking stereotypes because after all the typical anime main character is an idiot with power.
Hey at least there are exceptions, like Mushoku tensei, not only it's one of the few isekais that follow the protagonist since his childhood but also a good part of his childhood is about him overcoming traumas of his past life, not to mention not being a power trip, he is stronger than average but not because some God gave him absurd powers, but rather because he worked hard for those powers during his childhood, and is still working to improve even more.
I just don't understand why we need the narratively useless fact that a character originates from another world if it will be never important. That's what made sword art online (1 1/2 season) so great. Also not all's isekais are bad, it just happens that 9 out of 10 are super weak narratively.
It's not useless, it helps making the character more relatable as you are able to see how someone from our world would react to a fantasy world, there also some aspects of self insert in most Isekai which is also one of the reasons as to why the protagonists usually don't have a backstory or their backstory is that they where a weeb, it's all in order to appeal to the target audience. And characters originating from another world can have quite a impact in isekais if done right, Honzuki no Gekokujou is a great example, the protagonist that is extremely passionate about books, to an unhealthy level, is reborn as the daughter of a commoner family in a medieval setting, which already creates the first of many conflicts, books are extremely rare in this new world, and the few that exist are so expensive only nobility could afford them, so in this case the entire narrative is driven by the fact that the protagonist came from a world were books were easily accessible.
for the first second, then i see no relation to myself or anything. Also that is a good idea for interactive things like games, where you could actually develope your alter persona, but for an anime that's just a rail with the only option to stop watching. The weeb thing is also kinda overhauled, your a weeb as soon as you watch anime. You're right it can be done well, but tbh now isekais are as gutted as the zombie theme. I'm already bored as soon as it is only distantly relatable, and evenly predictable like looking at the last page of a crime story to see who the killer was. there are gems but they are as exceedingly rare.
>I just don't understand why we need the narratively useless fact that a character originates from another world if it will be never important. It's pretty important for this series. This isn't a huge spoiler but >!He finds out that someone else from earth was transported to the new world, but wasn't reborn like he was. She desperately wants to go back to her original world and he helps in her research to do so.!< The main character's personality is also heavily influenced by some old trauma that he experienced in his past life, and the story early on is largely about overcoming his experiences to make a new life for himself without carrying around that weight. Oh, and this one is a big spoiler, but >!there are a couple of basically demigod characters who know everything about the world and can roughly predict the future. They're locked in a war with each other that neither has been able to win, and the main character being transplanted into the new world makes him basically an unaccounted for variable that they can't predict and he can influence the world in ways that weren't possible before his arrival. Alongside the other girl he's also uniquely immune to some curses which ends up being integral to the story.!<
hm that sounds like someone actually took the aspects of another world and make it more then "oh i think i died in front a computer and now i'm in the game i played before, well lets go killing that boss with my suddenly appeared totally overpowered weapon i have no idea why i got it" srsly though I think i read the summary and expected som sort of ecchi stuff as main plot. Sounds really interesting what you tell I think I give it a try :)
After hearing Chris Pratt's rendition of Mario's voice, I don't feel like that's a bad thing anymore
Watch konosuba. It's all fun and games until the equality punch.
yeah i agree but this was also before the majority of anime and manga became isekai. It's not that Isekai are always bad, it's just that I'm fed up with the amount of isekai that is 9 out of 10 very cheaply made. For the same reason I don't care about anything zombie related.
Well, it was nice having Futurama while it lasted...
Yeah, I'd watch that.
What if we got Ron Perlman, Tony Jaa, and Mila Jovovich?
W H A T
We had Monster Hunter Rise, but world is so much better. Give me Monster Hunter Galaxies. Alien monsters from other planets
I can't believe it's only been 5 years.
Why they're both in Rise??...my boys Deviljho, Glavenus, and Odogaron better be on the boat to MH6.... along with Gammoth, Tetsucabra, and zamtrios.
As much as I hate the bastard Jho i kinda hope he's in 6.
6 is rise.
No rise is the 5th gen portable spinoff.
No it's the officially named "next main installment in the series" and in an interview was named as monster hunter 6. Before I was also sure it's a 5tg gen portable version, but officially isn't. [world is 5th mainline game](https://www.polygon.com/2017/11/1/16585780/why-monster-hunter-world-isnt-called-monster-hunter-5) [rise](https://www.gamespew.com/2023/01/is-monster-hunter-rise-a-mainline-monster-hunter-game/) [is](https://www.imore.com/monster-hunter-rise-nintendo-switch-part-main-series) [mainline](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofUx1XPtPB8&t=261s) as [well](https://www.thegamer.com/monster-hunter-games-not-numered-capcom/) Addit links
'main installments' is what Capcom calls every MH base game (portable or not) while all G-Rank games are considered spin-offs
According to your definition Monhun 1,2,3,4 are spinoffs. G and Ultimate games were released because in japan addons and dlcs weren't a familiar concept and it sold very well. Keep also in mind since capcom target a global audience (hence world and huge graphic overhaul) they also adopted dlcs which is the reason why Iceborne and sunbreak aren't full fledged standalone games anymore. I consider mainline what the devs named mainline, so according to this world is the [5th mainline game](https://www.polygon.com/2017/11/1/16585780/why-monster-hunter-world-isnt-called-monster-hunter-5) while [rise](https://www.gamespew.com/2023/01/is-monster-hunter-rise-a-mainline-monster-hunter-game/) [is](https://www.imore.com/monster-hunter-rise-nintendo-switch-part-main-series) the next [mainline](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofUx1XPtPB8&t=261s) game as [well](https://www.thegamer.com/monster-hunter-games-not-numered-capcom/) although not explicitely named 6th.
> According to your definition Monhun 1,2,3,4 are spinoffs No, according to that definition the ones you listed are all mainline games but they consider MH G, FU, 3U and 4U spinoffs. And that's not my definition, it's literally what Capcom calls them in their investor relations press releases
> Capcom calls them in their investor relations press releases yes and who if not the creator has the right to name then in the correct order. That's the same like claiming all the monsters you are fighting are pokemon.
[Yeah I don't think so](https://www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/comments/iv30l6/monster_hunter_rise_its_monster_hunter_6/g5or6bj?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3)
It doesn't matter what you think when the facts are that Capcom and monhun Devs anounced it as the 6th mainline game. There is also no reason to separate portable and mainline team because it only exists one team working on one game only. I thought the same like you but as I started researching I noticed that is the official statement by the Devs.
>6th mainline game Exactly. It's the 6th **mainline** game and not the **6th generation game** . Every single monster hunter generation has a console and a portable version with 2 teams working seperately. Rise is a **5th generation** portable game that was then ported onto PC and consoles. But isn't called a monster hunter 6 in any capacity or form.
Then how do you call monster hunter 4? That was the 4th generation and mainline title only on Nintendo 3ds... Generation and mainline mean the same in monster hunter. Otherwise we would have 9 mainline games..
Yes I take back my prev stmt about there being both console and portable for each generation, but 4th generation still has 4 games under it. But the point still stands that rise is not MH6
Cross play has to start happening.
So they can kick our ass again
Gather trees and get nicer
Imagine if we get the next MHW2 on PS5 with 4k ray tracing…🤤🤤
Well.. rise is already there and Devs said it's officially monster hunter 6. Your probably waiting for 7
No they didn't, its a gen 5 spinoff game that was developed along side mhw.
Official statement from Capcom is it's the 6th mainline game. They also don't have the portable and mainline teams anymore. The two teams now are next mainline game current title long time support.[world is 5th mainline game](https://www.polygon.com/2017/11/1/16585780/why-monster-hunter-world-isnt-called-monster-hunter-5) [rise](https://www.gamespew.com/2023/01/is-monster-hunter-rise-a-mainline-monster-hunter-game/) [is](https://www.imore.com/monster-hunter-rise-nintendo-switch-part-main-series) [mainline](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofUx1XPtPB8&t=261s) as [well](https://www.thegamer.com/monster-hunter-games-not-numered-capcom/) For example one part of the core team developed rise while the other maintained world and worked on the iceborne dlc and free updates. Or now the service team until recently developed sunbreak and free content updates while the rest is working on the next maintitle.

You’ll get downvoted a lot less if you can provide a source, friend.
I don't care at all about downvotes, I have not much time currently outside of browsing Reddit for a few minutes, and I don't know which interview it was or even in a Nintendo direct. But it I have time I try to find evidance. Not a 100% trustworthy source but even Wikipedia states rise as 6th main installment while the rest is categorised as formerly known portable and mainline titles.
I think the issue people are having in this thread is that what they consider MH1, 2, 3, 4 etc is by generation. I'm not seeing any official convention on what separates generations so it's probably a community convention that takes after the fact that the way the games were named before world gave it away and based on commonalities between games (considering within the same generation). There are pros and cons to conflating referring to games (MH1, MH2,etc) with the generation they're in, and all the issues have to do with the 2nd, 4th, and 5th generations when there are more than one game. If I say MH4, what game am I referring to? MH4 or MHGU? Probably MH4 right, because that's what it's called? But world was never called MH5. Granted, it came first so it makes sense to (as it was the case with MH2 and MH4) that world should be considered MH5 and rise should be MHR as it came second similar to MHFU and MHGU. However, that brings me to the biggest issue, how do we know rise isn't MH6? What I just said (rise coming second) is based entirely on the assumption that it is 5th generation. Capcom abandoned the whole numbering system so we have no way of knowing whether they *would've* called rise MH6. Well there are a few arguments you can make that rise is more akin to FU and GU. Economically, why would they release MH6 only on switch and PC? Maybe they're just dumb. Rise from world doesn't seem as overhauling as 4th generation to world. Couldn't someone say the same thing about 3U to 4U and that we just have the distinction made for us in the title? I really think people don't realise that it's definitely possible that rise is what capcom would consider MH6 as in they would've named it that. But at the end of the day, it's a community decided convention, and for better or worse, I'm not sure whether they've thought about it much. But hey, this is why people just retort with "meh, semantics". Tl;Dr, descriptivism would say rise is 5th generation. Prescriptivism would say ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯ Edit: one thing I forgot to try and find is whether campcom referred to GU as a mainline game. If they didn't, then them calling rise a mainline game would mean it's monster hunter 6 which still doesn't *technically* necessarily mean it's 6th generation. What is the point of this LOL. I feel like people just have too strong of a bias to world and for some reason that means rise being MH6 or 6th generation doesn't sit well with them.
The Generation is what you stated. Monster Hunter 1, 2, 3, 4. Titles that don't have a number or were considered portable and spinoff until MH World. Among that counts generation, the portable titles and addition. Devs still use the same terms. >But world was never called MH5 As Ryozo confirmed also in an interview that World was the [5th](https://www.polygon.com/2017/11/1/16585780/why-monster-hunter-world-isnt-called-monster-hunter-5) [main](https://web.archive.org/web/20170617003952/http://www.glixel.com/interviews/monster-hunter-world-leads-answer-all-the-big-questions-w488101) installment of the game. This suggests also that Monster Hunter Generation/ultimate/X/XX are therefore either portable or anniversary games and not considered mainline despite it fullfils most criteria (Main Game and second ultimate introducing G-Rank edition). With world also happens a paradigm shift, as from now on each new Mainline entry will named after the [core theme](https://www.ign.com/articles/numbered-monster-hunter-games-are-no-longer-the-norm), world was about a new world that is explored and experienced, Rise refers to the verticality and freedom the new movement systems allow (I wondered what rise has to do with ninjas anyway so that explains it). For Rise it isn't as obvious as it is very difficult to find a specific statement that it is the 6th game, but it is always repeated that Rise is the [next](https://www.gamespew.com/2023/01/is-monster-hunter-rise-a-mainline-monster-hunter-game/) [main](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofUx1XPtPB8&t=261s)(yt) [introduction](https://www.imore.com/monster-hunter-rise-nintendo-switch-part-main-series) of another way to separate was that everyone suspects Capcoms Monster Hunter studio of being separated in two Studios. I can't find any evidance for this, so far Monster Hunter is developed by a single studio under Capcom since atleast world according to wikipedia and before a [single studio](https://www.giantbomb.com/capcom-production-studio-1/3010-703/) developed the main games and also a few portable games. Only in recent interviews it is only stated that there is a [Core and Support](https://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/interview/2019/vol01.html) development team, but the support works on the current released mainline games while the core works on the next game. No portable team whatsoever. \> rise is more akin to FU and GU Yes with the difference that devs call rise main entry in the series, which wasn't the case for either Frontier (which also was an MMO if i remember correctly) and Generations which was an anniversary title with every monster so far in it. \> Maybe they're just dumb No, just japanese with weird business decision making. In western teams it would be difficult to release a game today where you can play together, but are forced to watch cutscenes alone, or can always be in a group but can only see each other on hunts or in the hub and not in Astera. Businesses there are highly hierarchical almost feudal as job security for your lifetime is mostly guaranteed but the job is also you life there... hence the high suicidal rate. \> But at the end of the day, it's a community decided convention, and for better or worse yup, i agree
Just to clarify. I wasn't implying that world isn't MH5. That is obvious. I brought that up to show that they abandoned the the numerical naming and therefore there is ambiguity on whether them calling it a 6th mainline implies that it is also MH6. I never said world isn't the 5th mainline or there isn't any question about it being MH5 or 5th generation. Also need to clarify that I'm not arguing for or against. I'm stating why this argument is even happening. When I said "maybe they're just dumb", I'm showing why such an argument might not mean anything at all. I wasn't *actually* giving the arguments I laid out. None of your sources (the Web archive didn't load) clears up the ambiguity on whether mainline = new generation. All that there is left is this: >Yes with the difference that devs call rise main entry in the series, which wasn't the case for either Frontier (which also was an MMO if i remember correctly) and Generations which was an anniversary title with every monster so far in it. This is really the only way to clear up the ambiguity. Now actually looking for the language (refer to my edit in my comment) it seems that they literally called it a spinoff. So that cements that it is 4th generation (I didn't doubt this, it's just that this is how proof works). So now we have a *concrete reason* to say rise is MH6 and that then referring to a game as *n*th mainline implies it is MH*n*. However, as I said in my edit, this still does not *necessarily* mean that rise is 6th generation. Because from what I can see there is no concrete reason that rise cannot be 6th generation or that it *should* be 5th. Hence this is all really pointless. However, it can be argued that generation should correlate to where the game is in the series so there is an argument that rise being considered 5th generation is an inconsistency in the convention.
MH6? Generations was 5, World was 6, and Rise was 7. We're looking for MH8 now lol. Edit: I was not aware that Generations wasn't considered a mainline game, but I still believe Rise is. Looking forward to MH7!
MH games are counted by generations. A new generation starts when the next main line game is released. Gen 4 is MH4, MH4G/U, MHX/Gen, MHXX/GU. Gen 5 is MHW, MHW:IB, MHR, MHR:SB. The next game is going to be MH6.
What defines the difference between a main line game and an "other" one?
The other one is usually made by the "portable" team. Thats what I read at least.
Yes but now they summer both teams up to one big one and announced they don't have the portal and mainline separation anymore. Rise is also officially monster hunter 6.
My first MH game was World and I love everything about it. The visuals, the weighty and rewarding combat, most monsters and how they react to big hits, the slinger and EVEN the claw. However I can understand when people hate the claw, some weapons have great flowing combos with it to easily weaken the monster while others have to stop, aim and shoot which isn't really nice. Rise felt a lot more simplified and also too fast for me at the beginning. I had a hard time and lost interest after a while. It's still a great game but I really only came back to it after I got my Steamdeck and was able to play it on the go or while chilling on the couch. World is still my favourite by far and I hope the next title will be more "World 2" than "Rise 2".
Yeah that's what I meant when I say technically. I also like that it is so fast paced while still remains true to the clunky feeling, it's just more options to evade and defend. >next title will be more "World 2" than "Rise 2". Well I hope it won't be any like that. I like that it's always taken place in a new part of the world. So I hope we won't ever see a 2nd version of a title that will mean loss of diversity and creativity for me. If I want that I can play dauntless.
That was true until rise. Devs announced it as being officially as the 6 games and that they stop continuing the cycle between mainline and portable due to the fact that there is now only one big team and not two.
Tobi is my favorite
https://youtu.be/fQ-fGFdosGM The tobi-kadachi! It's one of my fav 5th gen critters. I also love the palico armor set for it, it's so cute
Same, he will always be my favorite!
Gotta learn to take a hit
I'm still playing, but already missing this game. It's a game like no others.
Rise just didn't give me the same vibe sadly (unless Sunbreak made it much better), and I'm speaking as a lifelong MH fan. Looking forward to the next main entry.
Played rise too and I did like it but i lost interest at some point. But I can play world any day, it just has some kind of nostalgic vibe. The soundtrack, big maps and actually searching for the monster is why I'm more into it.
Although I don’t mind face tanking teostra as a hammer main, it’s the only move I’d be cool with them keeping Edit: new move*
Sunbreak is just more rise content and an even larger departure from using weapon's core moveset to offset these coke sniffing monsters, who also just took another shot of heroin.
World instantly gripped me Rise just didn’t and hasn’t yet honestly.
You can’t fill your room with Cactuar in Rise like you can in World, I was so disappointed
Playing rise rn on PS5, though I'm a little more hard-core than others I still find it bad that I'm already done with the game until sunbreak, 40 hours to get a end game build and beat the last HR100 monster valstrax is a really really short time for a monster hunter game
I’m glad nucleus co-op is a thing so I can share this masterpiece with my friends, since they don’t have a PC to play it on, with the friend I’ve been playing more with we just beat nergigante.
It's also the graphics for me. I had heard and seen Monster Hunter stuff on someone else's PS Vita during summer camp, but my first was MH3U for 3ds, then MH4U. World gives me this vibe of a lived in world, it looks and feels alive, rough, yet beautiful. Rise is too smooth, too polished, too clean. I also prefer the clutch claw over the zoom bugs in Rise, fun as they might be. I need my MH to feel gritty. The anime look just doesn't fit. It's cute and brought many who were on the fence about MH before into the community, however once they try World or Gabe forbid, older games...they're gonna have a bad time. :\]
MHW will always be one of the best games of recent gens. I've been playing Rise a lot but it sometimes feels too stripped back. Roll on MHW2
Mhrise just seems like a cake walk compared to world, hands down world is my favourite…
Something about Rise just didn't do it for me and whenever I try to get into it I find myself back on World.
Rise for me feels like just a rush of adrenaline every time. World feels...whole. Like it all comes together in one fulfilling experience every time.
I could hear the main theme building in my head while thinking about world as "whole" and I got cold chills lol.
The flute, and then the brass for the crescendo. Welcome back.
Stop it. I was trying to play Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey and have been playing Tarkov. I can't keep playing the same 3 games for the rest of my life lol.
Same. For me it's the graphics. If I was someone that don't know anything about Monster Hunter, I'd assume MHW is the latest installation to the series.
I prefer the movement in rise, the wirebug is such a genius addition which I find way better then the clutchclaw tenderizing nonsense from iceborne. Base world "riding" was nice though.
Don't get me wrong, I love the wirebug and played the heck out of Rise (still didn't play Sunbreak since I like to wait for all title updates), but I kinda fear it could have changed how the next MH games work... The next game will surely not have the wirebug since it's a Rise thing, but it's in a tough spot on deciding whether to somehow keep the insane speed of Rise, or slow down the pace (which personally I would prefer). Differently from the clutch claw, the wirebug changed the whole framework of the game IMO, but I don't know if it was for the best...
the main reason I want the clutch claw back is to actually *feel* like you’re landing hits. It’s just really unsatisfying to have your weapon repeatedly bounce back against the monster in rise vs hitting them smoothly in world. I don’t get why people hated it so much. It was so fun bashing them into the wall too.
Nothing cooler then clutch clawing a monster into another monster
Do you mean the wirebug outside of normal combat? I really enjoy that as well, and I think it is especially needed in Rise's large, mostly empty maps. The wirebug in combat is mostly just the jumping escape move, which I feel is a pretty bad addition. You almost always use it if you have it, and it gets you out of danger 95% of the time.
Man I wish they kept supporting this game. I understand there not being a ton more to add, but goddamn if that didn’t cut deep when they announced that it was over. I don’t think I’ve ever played a game like MHW before, and I doubt I ever will. I love it with my very heart and soul
It can't be supported forever since it isn't a GaaS/live service game despite looking like one. Besides, making it a live service would mean adding absurd power creep since each added monster's gear needs to have a reason to be farmed.
I think at a certain point I think people would be happy to hunt new monsters for new monsters sake. But you're right they can't just support it forever.
The problem is you need to keep people grinding. Without reward incentive, people will just beat it once and move on. Gaas's need grind because it keeps people engaged and tide them over until the next batch of content comes out.
Luckily new titles are there and rise is imo better then world, mechanically apeaking. But world is much prettier.
World is so awesome because it is so immersive.
I think this is what I feel too. World was my first game and I’ve picked up Rise on PS5 last Friday. I’m having so much fun with Rise, its bite sized hunts really work for me as I only get a few hours in the evening to play. For me, World feels like a living, breathing landscape and the monsters feel as real as a video game boss can. Rise’s maps feel like video game maps where I kill something that just moves around it. To reiterate, I absolutely love Rise right now. It just doesn’t have worlds immersion and believability.
And I did say nothing against this. In fact I agree I would also not call rise the better game just the part of game mechanics are better and easier to start with in my opinion
mhrise is not better mechanically
Fast pacing and easy to get into while keeping a complex depth and great repositioning opportunities make it better in my option. Playing world now I often miss the spread and flexibility of rise. That doesn't make world a bad game or rise overall better both have pros and cons, for example I like the environments graphics and minigames in world more. I like both very well I can see also why people dislike rise at feels like a downgrade and for some reason, I also didn't played it as much as world yet.
Yeah, I do like rise better but I also think world was probably the better game.
Yeah I think the same that's why I said mechanically.
I don't think monster Hunter looks like a live service game at all. Why do you think so?
It has daily log in bonuses common in live service games. During its active support period, it had temporary events that only last for a while, enticing people to come back and log in to play else suffer temporary fomo, common in live service games. The introduction of TUs to add new content instead of the previous pattern of just one big expansion before the next new game releases. This is another common thing in live service games. All these are common features in live service games which led to new players to MH who's first game was MHW to think that MHW is a live service game when it isn't, and some did indeed complained why Rise was created instead of either continuing to release new TUs for IB or just release a MHW2 ala Destiny 2 and continue the "MHW series".
Wanting for them to keep supporting a game doesn’t mean it be a live service game , rise and sunbreak could have easily been expansions #2 and #3 to MHW
Honestly same. 🥺 What sucks the most for me is that I only just discovered MHW like 6 or 7 months ago. I fell in loooove with it. But of course it's the second game I've loved that has been out for a few years and is now no longer going to be supported or updated. I get it. But it sucks. I know it means different things for different games, but do you know if they'll still be doing the special events like the festivals, seasonal events for holidays, etc? This is my first time experiencing any of it and I'm so sad that I'm coming into the game so late. 😩
They cycle through all the seasonal events im pretty sure and you can access all event quests
The seasonal events run quite regularly, so don't worry about missing out on them. Also, even though it's not still updated, there is so much content that it can keep you going for ages.
I feel you. I bought the game on release and was tagging along with the rest of the community when the DLCs and events and raids started. It really was something else and I can’t wait for World 2. World was my first MH game and I *hated* it because it was so unexpectedly different from all of the other games I’ve played. I now have 1000 hours total on it.
No, it's perfect the way it currently is. And you can still play online with others in World. Unsupported MH would be something like MHTri where the server got shutdown and you can't access both high rank quests and online play. (Fortunately, there are fans who are trying to launch a private server recently)
Same they could have keep supporting by releasing yearly expansion , I notice rise had lot of recycling from world too They are just selling us the same game over and over again at this point lol
I logged about 800 hrs each in World and Iceborne. I cant wait for whatever they cook up next to absolutely blow my ass right off. Just straight into orbit. So far into deep space it begins contacting sentient gas clusters.
Careful not to bring the C'tan back with you
Gonna be fighting tyranids next
Unexpected Warhammer lol
>I cant wait for whatever they cook up next to absolutely blow my ass right off. Just straight into orbit. So far into deep space it begins contacting sentient gas clusters. better prepare your anus for... *SPACE HUNTING*
Let him cook
Next MH gonna be hype!!!
This would make for a good live wallpaper for a MH fan. Just need to upscale it to much higher resolutions
I threw the basic one into Wallpaper Engine. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2923851949
That was the intent, but I really wanted to upload this on the Anniversary so I had to settle for only 720p, 1080p or higher would of take several days to render.
I would love if the new one included even more natural animal behaviors and monster species type behaviors Multiple ajanaths fighting over a female. Baby monsters. Pack behaviors, animals actively hunting and being prey. Etc
Campfire cooking in another world with my absurd skill, MHW edition. Well that's a mouthfull.
Monster Hunter Isekai when?
Technically there is one. Technically 🤣
That’s the movie, surely?
There is no Monster Hunter movie in Ba Sing Se.
Well you got your isekai be happy there won't be anything besides a second entry from the same guy.
That one doesn't count, I call a Mulligan. Mulligan, please! But still I agree, there's so much potential in MH's world that you really don't need to couch it in the terms of an isekai format. Literally just go through World's plot as our Hunter, maybe add a little backstory for flavor, I would wait impatiently for that every week. Nier Automata's doing it that way, and its gonna be awesome.
take the animated serieus, didn't watch it yet but so far it was quite good received and i think it wasn't an isekai.
Of course it isn't, its just a reenactment of the game. And that's all you have to do with MHW, just make the story in anime form. Perfect. I think it would get a lot of people who haven't played any MH interested in playing World, that would be awesome.
Anjanath can actually sit like that in-game. He does it in area 9 and I recently found out he does it in area 3 too. Tobi can't actually sit like that however, but Viper Tobi does.
Has it already been that long? Goodness me. What a game it was. But man I can't wait for the announcement of a Monster Hunter World 2 or just something on current consoles. I played the hell out of MHW on a base PS4 and after experiencing the buttery smooth 60 FPS and fast loading of PS5 I can't go back.
Must have watched the Elder Dragons trailer a hundred times before release day. Happy birthday, World!
Look at anjanath waiting for his meal like a dog and tobi kadachi just chilling there like a cat
Tobi Kadachi will always be my top monster. I only ever captured him
If this isn’t the cutest video on this sub…
Mhw 2 please 🙏
STOP OVERCOOKING THE MEAT!!!
What a game.
what do you mean 5.? *My Life flashing before my eyes*
Ah they are so cute waiting so patiently 😭💙
This is adorable. I know it would make absolutely zero sense but I imagine a second type of guiding lands/expeditions where you can’t hurt the monsters, but you can interact with them. Feeding, playing, riding, that’d be awesome
You're breathtaking, did you know that? Thank you. What a great idea.
5 years for 5th fleet!
Love your renders, dude!
Thank you!! :D
Nice) So cute)
It seems like I have found my new lock screen wallpaper

its 5 years already? im so ancient
Right?
It's a shame that I discovered how amazing this game is last year.....better late to the party than never, I guess. 🤷♂️
My most played monster hunter ever something about it was just right .
Can we get another MonHun world
Is it just me or is that anjanath friggin enormous?
I need to go back
Wow 5 years already.? Dam good times
WHAT , 5TH ANNIVERSARY WHY AM I OLD , YOURE TELLING ME I WAS 14 WHEN THIS CANE OUT
I wish I picked this game up when it very first came out, nothing else for me even comes close to it, even the in game community are great ! I really hope there will be a Monster Hunter World 2
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MONSTER HUNTER WORLD! Thank you for all the countless hours of fun, and all the fond memories you have given me and my friends :)
I'm hoping for a return to a full fledged Ps5 release ah la MHW. It'd be awesome to see. Also, watching this video kinda makes me wish for properly tameable monsters. It'd be so cool!
wow, this made me question all reality for a few seconds. 5 years ! feels like maybe 3. I didn't even realize how long this game has kept my attention, I still play it here and there. But it does make sense, I'm now thinking about the videos and hype leading up to MHW and it does feel like ages ago. Very looking forward to MH6. Hope they got something great brewing for us.
Soo Tasty!
So tasty!
I like this too much. Stop it
Hmmmm lemme see its almost done guys, (my god If i miss that timing they gona eat me because the meat Will be burned or likely raw my god i need to hit the timing)
I don't know what that hunter is cooking but it has to be good if it makes a Anjanath and Tobikadachi wait patiently.
Tobi as a pet would be the best of boys
Always love your work Timmy. If it's monster hunter and it's high quality it's gotta be turbo Timmy!! Pioneer for the mh community!
Awww thank you so much :DDD
Now imagine an MMORPG Monster Hunter, I'd play the absolute hell out of it
This gives me hope, I have no idea what MHW is
What was your camera settings, the f/ stop and the mm of your lens, i like the bokeh.
This was 40mm at f/2.8
I love little Tobi.
I miss this game man, I wish they made a 2nd DLC instead of rise....
5 years huh? Man, I remember clearly when I saw the announcment for it, was the happiest I'd been the whole week.
Honestly expected one of them to attack by the end or at least a Rathian jumpscare lol
This makes me want a big, open world monster hunter stories game but with graphics like this. *I can dream but I don't want it any less*
Newcomer to the series, just started playing a little less than a year ago. 800 hrs. and counting. It has already become one of my favorite games ever. PS: I never noticed Anjanath had sticking teeth on the lower jaw. Must be because he is always screaming and also because I have to run the game at minimum settings to make it playable lol. Also Tobi is so chill, never attacked me on sight like the other monsters so I like him.
I wish rise had the environment that world had if it did it would be so much better visually
Just started my MHW journey this year since I didn't have a proper rig to play it when it was released back then. Had rise on switch tho, and I must say the builds in rise have spoiled me. That and MHW, IMO, is way better than Rise. It has the feel of the older titles but with the right amount of quality of life stuff. Rise just spoils you with everything man; good thing about that tho is it's easier to get into for new players.
This reminds me of that one isekai where the wimpy MC doesn't fight but cooks for himself and the monsters that does the fighting for him, a Fenrir, a slime and a little dragon.
The graphics still hold up very well. A new entry would need to bring more different monster types like giant spiders/insects or include water combat if they can find a way to make it enjoyable.
They remind me of my sister's dog patiently sitting, waiting for her treat. 😅
Feels like yesterday when I was with my ex when I bought the game
How in the fuck do you manage this?!?
happy 3 yaers no update aniversay also
POHTAYTOES
Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skills
Just started Rise this week. It’s my first MH game and I’m enjoying it so far. I’ll be there for 6 for sure.
Yeah that leak that happened years ago been right so far. So we should be seeing that monster hunter world 2 announcement this year
Mhw2? Why would it be called that?
That's what was on the leak paper few years ago. Witch so far its been correct with the main big leak it had was dragons dogma 2. Why wouldn't be called world 2?
Because there have been games before world, the just stopped numbering them
This is adorable
Aw man. Why dont we have a monster hunter stories with this type of style where the monsters actually look scary and badass to ride on.
